Syzygypsy - excellent .... That post in November was delicious; got me drooling like a dog hearing the bell go off for more nirvana-kibbles ! Throw us some more from your writing-pocket - I was getting flashbacks from chewing on your post ..! And other posts too; I am spinning with to many things to say about what's discussed here !. or it's all been so well said, .. I just need to nod as I read, and have flashes of remembering. .. ! But as far as good vs evil goes, I think that 'good' came first, that Good was the prior condition, and so evil came second and is 'erasable' by going back to the primal state of goodness ... or is it 'Godness' ? But, one question - what is the reason we are being distracted from the cosmic joke/game...? why is it witheld..? There isn't a bleak reality behind the veil, like in the Matrix movies; there is not just-ugliness... ! It's the opposite - Hyperspace is charged with the most unstoppable beauty and the need to Make More ! When I have had visionary experiences of this cosmic-joke, all the entities present go into a humping dance, and laugh - "get it" ... have sex now ... havesexhavesexhavesex they gesture to me. I get a message that the Universal Purpose is to 1) Love (know how to) (2) make more (breed any living thing, not just your own species) and (3) look out for the little-ones (young life). That's [i:a63305b937][b:a63305b937]all[/b:a63305b937][/i:a63305b937] I have to do to to be fulfilling my purpose - make and breed more DNA copies of any organism. This is your ticket to no-more-karma and 'heaven' will eat you when you die ! So my hunch is that we are awake in this unenlightened state for a very crucial, deliberate reason that includes having to bear pain and pleasure, and to breed mindlessly ... Make More Life ! It seemed to me that the totality of being is veiled on purpose, all the time, to keep us from it. If we'd all gawk at the Totality of Being at once, we'd be stunned completely, and transform as species as we ALL put down all our tools and weapons. And then figure out what needs to happen. I wonder if we'd breed more or less if everybody had a transcendental/enlightenment experience ... now I forgot wht the thread-topic was ... But one last meander - I also have this sense that death is a liberation of some energy that is 'harvested' from us. As though the non-physical entities out-there are able to pick our souls off of a vine like a fruit they are growing; we each are like a bunch of hyperspace grapes, ripening under their sun.
